Founded by Pim de Witte, Eloi Alonso, Adam Jelley, and Vincent Micheli, the company leverages a massive proprietary dataset: 2 billion videos annually from Medal’s 10 million monthly active users.

General Intuition Eyes $2 Billion Valuation in New Funding Round
Eight months after spinning out of gaming platform Medal with a $134 million seed round, New York-based General Intuition is reportedly closing in on a $300 million investment. The fresh capital would push the startup’s valuation past $2 billion, signaling intense investor appetite for its spatial-temporal AI models.

This unique data pipeline has drawn interest from major players like OpenAI, which previously explored an acquisition of Medal. While competitors such as Runway, Decart, and World Labs focus on generating video or virtual scenes, General Intuition differentiates itself by positioning the trained agents—not the models themselves—as the core commercial product. Management plans to deploy the new funds to scale compute capacity, with a target of launching a new product by late summer or early autumn.
